Mondays

Mondays and rain are not always a good combination.  Anyway to get over the blues I have made some more citrus burst for the orders that have come in and a base of citrus burst with white soap over the top so it looks a bit like lemon meringue.  So will unmold tomorrow and see if it worked.  I am also making blue soap like a ducks pond with little ducks on top for easter so they will look great and found the mold  for making soaps that are flip flops for the summer, so watch this space.

Hair Shampoo

One of my customers has written a lovely blog about my soaps.  I have just made another new one with lemon, lime, juniper and orange blossom for greasy hair.  I always try the soaps out on the family before putting them on sale.  The costs of all the raw materials are shooting up like everything, but we believe in creating the best from the best possible ingredients and trying as hard as possible to keep the cost down to the customer. 

Bunny Rabbits

On Monday I found my rabbit lying on her side unable to move, with her head on one side.  I thought the worse and went to the vet who said it could be an ear infection or parasites. So we started the road of antibiotics and other medicine, on Friday she manged to get back onto all four and to move she does a very strange thrashing.  On Sat she threw her food bowl which is the first time for ages, as this is something she always used to do, and in a very strange fashion tried to clean herself, but found she could only use one paw without falling over. Sunday and she is still on all four paws with her head less on one side.  Not sure if her head will ever be straight, but she is an amazing fighting bunny.

Friday blog spot.

  My chocolate orange soap has been chosen to go on to a blog spot this week so I know that my chocolate orange soap will know how special it is.  My strawberry gateaux also has chocolate in it, but white chocolate, so yummy yummy.

Excited

Sooooo excited by my soaps yesterday, was trying out colours and they are lovely.  There is the pink cup cake which I want to say, pretty in pink, and then the peach colour.  I did not ice the tops but spread the soap over and put peaks into the soap and added the soap flowers.  The pink are rose geranium and the peach have ylang ylang a real romantic oil and the deeper note of patchouli.  They all smell divine.
